My paintings are meant to be pleasing to look at, and at the same time intellectually stimulating. For some, they are what they are--a window, a roofline, a door ajar. For others, owing a large degree to my use of close perspective, they are thoughtful abstractions of lines and surfaces caught in the push and pull between what’s near and what’s far away. I elevate the simplicity of my subjects and invite my viewers to reach their own conclusions.
